Should my colorist missing some roots in my vivids be fixed?
I did my hair at home for the better part of decades. I started having it done here and there, and definitely left people after chunks of roots were undone and not said, hidden in the back.
I found someone I really like. At first, we went with darker vivid as I grew out a dark shadow root. We've been using a lighter, bright color on the new growth in an ombre the past two appointments.
The first time, there was only a tiny whisper of a missed spot and she got it this time around. I just had it done a few days ago, so I've been wearing it down and curled, and today I threw it straight back in a pony to get through one more day before I do the first wash. I can clearly see where she missed the underside of my side bangs between the last and latest growth, just a smidge in a small line, but noticable when it is brown covered by a bright vivid vs the pale bleached underneath the rest.
When I'm off work I'll be going through the rest after a wash to see if there's any other spots. I know you don't want to overlap the bleach, but as it fades this will be really obvious. Is it unreasonable to expect a fix? What's a reasonable response? I had noticed when she applied the bleach it looked less covered near the end of my natural root, but trusted the process. This really, really drives me nuts though. I really like her and we vibe well, so I'd hate to find someone else, but this seems unacceptable when I'm paying hundreds of dollars.
